Comments, predictions Brentford vs Newcastle United: Share points

Both on 20 points in the Premier League table, mid-table Brentford and Newcastle United will face off at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Brentford have just endured an unsuccessful trip to Aston Villa, losing 1-3 to Unai Emery's side. Meanwhile, Newcastle United had an entertaining match against Liverpool, holding the leaders to a draw in a match that featured six goals.

Latest Brentford vs Newcastle United team information

Brentford travelled to Villa Park in midweek with a weakened midfield as both Mathias Jensen and Christian Norgaard were absent with "minor injuries." Their availability for Saturday's game remains an open question.

Kristoffer Ajer (foot) and Gustavo Nunes (back) are also ruled out but will undergo fitness tests close to the game, while Josh Dasilva (knee), Rico Henry (knee) and Aaron Hickey (thigh) are all but certain to feature.

With a tight fixture list, manager Thomas Frank could make some personnel changes. Summer signing Igor Thiago, after three consecutive appearances from the bench in the Premier League, could be given his first start, taking the top spot in attack.

For Newcastle, striker Alexander Isak was a fitness concern ahead of the draw with Liverpool after being taken off early against Crystal Palace. However, the Swede played the full 90 minutes in midweek, continuing to keep Callum Wilson waiting for a chance to return to the starting line-up.

Kieran Trippier is the latest Newcastle absentee due to illness and could be out again for the trip to west London, while Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee) and Emil Krafth (shoulder) remain on the injury list.

Manager Eddie Howe surprised everyone by picking Jacob Murphy over Harvey Barnes on the right against Liverpool, but Barnes is likely to be considered for use this weekend. Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock could also rotate in midfield to ensure the squad is strong.

Latest Brentford vs Newcastle United football review

Brentford, one of the Premier League’s most impressive home teams in 2024-25, have struggled to maintain their form away from home, with Thomas Frank’s side losing midweek to struggling Aston Villa.

The game at Villa Park was all but decided in the 34th minute, as Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash scored, leaving Mikkel Damsgaard only able to pull one back with an impressive strike early in the second half. Damsgaard's goal, however, was only a consolation for Brentford.

That goal, though, helped Brentford maintain a better goal difference than Newcastle, their next opponents, and they remain in the top half of the Premier League table, at least until Thursday's games are completed.

After a forgettable away trip, Brentford return to the Gtech Community Stadium aiming to maintain their title as the Premier League's 'best home form team', having picked up 19 points and scored 22 goals at home this season.

Brentford have always been the most entertaining at home, scoring at least three goals in each of their last four games at the Gtech Community Stadium. However, they are yet to keep a clean sheet at home this season.

As for Newcastle, they were the last visiting side to win at the Gtech Community Stadium, beating Brentford 4-2 in the final minutes of the 2023-24 season, continuing their good record against the side.

That win was the fifth in six Premier League meetings between the two sides, the only draw being a 3-3 draw in November 2021. Hosts Brentford have met Newcastle more times than any other side without winning.

In another impressive performance, Eddie Howe's side let a one-goal advantage slip twice in a dramatic draw with Liverpool on Wednesday night. Despite a commendable performance by Howe's side, they have failed to win in their last three Premier League games and could drop into the bottom half of the table if Fulham or Bournemouth win their games on Thursday night.

Despite scoring in eight of their last nine away games, Newcastle will struggle against Brentford, especially as they have conceded goals in eight of their last ten games in London. The signs are that this could be another high-scoring affair at Gtech.
